Comment
Some sources state dates existing for 1504 and 1509 but none are known to exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldengroschen coin from the Landgraviate of Hessen is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "W" in the center, which represents the initial of the ruler, William II. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the Landgraviate, adding an extra layer of detail and significance to the coin's design.
